Thank you Allen,
can I ask you another question?
How can I use the values you listed in RGB?
I mean RGb is usually made by thre numbers (i.e. red is RGB(255,0,0)).
How can I tralslate your liste into RGB?

Thanks anyway.

Hello,
I hope you don't mind if I come into your discussion. Does anyone know
what
is the RGB value for the command button? It's kind of grey, but I cannot
find
the values, so that I could apply it as background of graphics I build.

Thanks,
Rocco

However, It seems Access defines the color constant differently? For
example, color constant for Grey would be 8421504, but its RGB is 128,
128,
128.

The color code is a "packed" long integer: the RGB code is the Red
value + 255 * the Green value + 65536 * the Blue value. Essentially,
it's three 8-bit numbers packed into a 24 bit value.
